Artist and scholar. Pioneer and griot. Katherine Dunham is both one of the greatest exponents of dance culture in the African diaspora and one of its most innovative ethnographers. Much like Pearl Primus, a legend, scholar, and dance pioneer on the African continent, Dunham explored the Caribbean and North America, documenting the stories and dances of the peoples, exploring and sharing the diversity of black experiences, and showing how dance can be a political force. This design, created in collaboration with Kim Johnson Studios, celebrates this brilliant heritage with a colorful play of flowers and dancers. In dynamic and exuberant postures, our watercolors show the energy and life that characterized Katherine Dunham's career and that continue to inspire us today. Each pillow features a double-sided design in a natural cotton and linen blend and features a hidden zipper.
